Our Listeners
- Off the Grid listeners are smart, fun, values-centered business owners who create and share impactful things on and offline. They’re writers, artists, designers, wellness practitioners, service providers, shop owners and product makers who know a lot about their craft but need more support to make the business side of things thrive.
- They’re also SICK of social media — especially how much energy, creativity, and precious life force it drains from them. So they’re seeking better, softer, more relatable knowledge about marketing and business strategy that will help them make money without selling their souls to Meta, Google, or other social media overlords.
- According to Spotify, our listeners are 84% female, 9% male & 2% nonbinary. 5% of our listeners are between ages 23-27, 30% are 28-34, 40% are 35-44, 23% are 45 or older, and 2% are 60+. They’re primarily located in the US, UK and Canada.

✨ A note from a happy sponsor—
“Placing an ad on Off the Grid was hands down the best investment I made last year. My cost per lead ended up around $6 (70% less than meta's average btw), and nearly all of those leads are still highly engaged a year later. They open, click, and even reply to my emails. On top of all that, many have become customers, bringing in over 13x ROI.”
